The Year 7 Catch-Up is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of students and close the gap between them and their peers.

The Government allocates extra funding to schools for students who achieved below expected standards in Mathematics and/or Reading in the Key Stage 2 assessments. The purpose of the funding is enable schools to provide extra support and focused tuition in Mathematics and Reading. £500 is allocated for each student whose KS2 results fall into these categories.
